Been having issues over the past week to get Gmail to work properly. The first indication that there was an issue was in the time it took to load/refresh the tab when selected. Once it loaded none of the Gmail icons appeared, but a marker was present for them. Frustrated, I went and deleted the cache for Google. This resulted in me needing to sign in to my account again. I moved into the input book and selected the saved account name, When I select the "Next: button, the input box wrote over the account name with “Email or phone number,” and would not proceed to the next page. When I typed in the account name, the same result.
This issue seemed to cascade into another account which uses the gmail account as the sign-in for a different site. When the gmail account name and password were entered an error message was returned “The captcha is not valid.” This site does not use a captcha system for entry.
Out of frustration, I deleted Brave from my computer, rebooted, reinstalled the latest version, attempted to access gmail only to face the issue with both sites.
Reading through the community postings with somewhat similar issues recommended trying to open gmail in a private tab. I tried this and it worked; I also did it with the other site sign-in and it worked too. So while the end result was achieved, what can be done to make this work without going into private mode?
